Good things always come to those who wait, it is said… or as I would think, to those who work their ass off and like to focus on results! After many months of changes at the office we finally began to harvest the seeds we first planted together with a dream. It has been a crazy road of digital evangelizing and many hours of dedication and persistence.
This past week we received a recognition that reminded us that we’re on the right path to success and helped us re-focus for what’s coming our way. Tribu received their first “Pregonero de Bronce” award in the digital category and for myself it was a great honour to be a part of it all… not to mention that it was a nice reminder that whatever we’re doing, we’re on the right path…

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
For the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles thats what you do
There’s a love that’s devine
And its yours and its mine, like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
“Have I told you lately that I love you” by Rod Stewart
Now wouldn’t that just be perfect? Just not having to think ever about what happened yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that, and before that…
Ugh… here come the ugly stories of my life, but it’s all live and learn right?
AUGUST 14th, 1995 - “Many things have changed since I last wrote, I’ve realized that life is all about change, among other things. Ever since Max and I got back together I’ve been drowning in doubt every day. Obviously something big drove us apart once and it could easily come back again. The other day Max asked me a question that left me thinking, he asked me if I wouldn’t have had Francesca if we would still have stayed together and gotten married. To be honest, I don’t even want to think about it because for a split second I had the greatest impulse to say no. Yesterday something really bad happened, something he promised he would never ever do. Max slapped me and threw me on the bed to hold me down in the middle of an argument. I totally flipped and went hysterical, I just couldn’t and still cannot believe that it happened. To make matters worse, and I’m even embarrassed to say this but I really saw this coming way back long ago. So many times that our arguments have gotten heated he’s come at me threatening not to provoke him. So… now, the question is, what do I do? I want to go, but if I go, I get the feeling I have to go far far away. And I promised something, I promised him I would never give up again and leave. And then, there’s the kids… for them, I can’t leave, but things have changed. I don’t trust Max, in anything, not that I really ever did but as his wife I really tried. This hurts, he’s threatened me so many times with taking the kids away from me that I just prefer to stay put and live with it before loosing the two most important people in my life. I still really haven’t thought about all this yet, I just can’t digest it as I should. I need to find the way, I need to find the strength, I need a new beginning.”
Ugh, just before I began to type this post I went back and re-read all my “journal” entries, they all sound so depressing, makes it sound like my life has been the worst experience all along!! I’m certainly a “moody” writer, and painter, for that matter… it’s usually in moments of dispair that I’m compelled to sit and write down my feelings, an outlet I guess… Anyway, think I’m about half way through posting this little old journal so let’s move along cuz the worst is still to come LOL
JUNE 1st, 1993 - “This is the 7th time I get a hold of this journal to record events of my life. It’s sad to notice that very rarely they are positive entries which sucks, I guess it’s always in bad moments that I feel the need to jot down my feelings. Two weeks ago was my 1st year wedding anniversary. Now a days to be married for a whole year certainly makes you feel deserving of a prize. Needless to say, it has been a difficult year for us as a family, as a couple, it’s been a hard year for me. I started working again and there is not a day that goes by that I’m not wishing that I would have been able to finish my university studies. Max continued with problems in his back which kept him in bed for more than 3 months. During this time I had to do everything at home, the working, the earning, paying bills, taking care of the kids, the house, every little detail. Francesca is already in kinder and she has grown and changed so much, doing a lot of things for herself, she talks so much, about anything and everything. Kyle is growing so fast, he will be 1 year old in a few days and he’s crawling around touching everything and just about to let go and start walking! Life is ok…”
